Proof for Noah's Flood

[dhchristian]

I Found this article and just wanted to share this here and get some thoughts.

Anthropologists have collected 250 to 300 flood stories from different nations. If all peoples are descended from Noah, then these stories show that common ancestry. Each story has two or more people being saved because of a special boat.

Noah wrote a book known as "The Generations of Noah", and Moses included part of it in Genesis. (Genesis 6:19 - 9:28) He related the story of the flood as he saw it personally.

The Babylonian tradition shows remarkable similarities. It was recorded by Berosus in 300 BC, basing his story on the archives of the temple of Marduk in Babylon. The story says Xisuthrus was warned by the gods to build a ship. He took with him friends, relatives and different animals. After the flood waters began to subside, his ship was stranded in Armenia. Birds were sent out. After leaving the ship he offered a sacrifice.

The flood tablets, found by George Smith (1872) in the library of Assurbanipal in Nineveh which were copied from tablets dating back to the first dynasty of Ur (before Abraham), tell the same story as recorded by Berosus.

The Egyptians had a legend that the gods at one time purified the earth by a great flood - only a few shepherds escaped by climbing a mountain.

The Greek story tells about Deucalion, who was warned by the gods of a flood. He built an ark. The story also tells of a dove being sent out twice.

The Hindu flood story tells of Manu, who builds a ship, but only he alone was saved.

The Chinese flood story relates how Fa-he, founder of the Chinese civilization, escaped a great flood. After man had rebelled against God, Fa-he, his three sons, their wives, and Fa-he's wife escaped.

In England, the Druids had a legend that the world had been repeopled by a righteous man who had been saved in a ship from a great flood.

The Polynesian story tells of a flood where eight escape in a canoe.

The American Indians stories show that in more than 100 tribes, one, three, or eight people are saved in a boat that finally sat upon a high mountain as the waters began to subside.

The story from Greenland tells that the earth once tilted and all men drowned except one. Supposedly, he smote the earth with a stick and a woman appeared.

Each of these stories show that there is a universal concept of a flood , suggesting that they all have a common origin. Since the confusion of languages at Babel, the names have been changed - but enough details are the same to show they all come from Noah's Genesis account.

I Highlighted the one from Greenland for a reason, As it Points to second proof. The Book of Enoch speaks of the Earth "inclining". 1. In those days Noah saw that the earth became inclined, and that destruction approached. (64:1, Continue and read this chapter At link: http://book-ofenoch.com/chapter-64-sect-xi/)

There is also a theory out there, by a mathematician named George Dodwell that Looked at the archeological evidence from sundials and temples that point to the solstices, and what he found was that there was a significant change around about the time of the flood to the ecliptic of the earth. His entire work is found at the following link if you wish to read this.

What this is telling us is that there was  change in the tilt of the earth around the time of the flood from it being nearly vertical in relation to the 23 degree tilt we have now. This is known as the Obliquity of the Ecliptic. 

What does this mean? What this means is that seasons were not as harsh before this "inclination" took place. The Polar regions of the earth would have a milder climate and not have extremes of winter, and the tropical regions covered a larger swath of the earth. Before the Axis of the earth inclined. What this means is that finding tropical plants fossils in places like Alaska would not be out of the question... See Link:

What are your thoughts on this? Are there other evidences for the flood that strike you as overlooked like the above ones are? Read the account in the book of Enoch above does this not sound like a rapid tilt in the earth's axis?

The following link shows evidence from Chinese writing of the Biblical Narrative. There is a lot more to this evidence and I suggest you go and look up some videos on this as they do a better job explaining this than just this article. For a starter read this to get the gist of this evidence as it is quite amazing when you learn this and how accurate it is with genesis account. I Have just copied one of the symbols from this link here, there are many more such confirmations for things like the Garden of Eden, the Devil, the Tower of Babel, the confusion of Languages etc.

I Posted a video on this topic in the video section when it is approved go check it out.

There is an even better video out there, which is too long to Post in the video section here on this topic that goes in depth on Chinese culture and the account of genesis found in their writing. If you go and search for this it is called "God in Ancient China" posted by Scott Sacker.

Here is another evidence, which when one really thinks you will see the truth.

Actually, that's a false assumption.   Rock will deform under pressure over long periods of time, but the pressure can be intense enough to exceed the capacity of the rock to deform, and then it will fracture:

Why Does Nearly Every Culture Have a Tradition of a Global Flood?    Either there was one great worldwide flood, for which we have no evidence, or there have been many great floods over the ages, affecting almost all cultures at some point or another.   And we do have abundant evidence for that.

Genesis states that eight people were on the Ark: Noah and his wife, their three sons and their three wives. So: 

1. There should be signs of a population bottleneck in which humanity almost became extinct.
2. How many different Y chromosomes were on the Ark? One – the three sons inherited their Y chromosome from Noah, and since it's only one generation down, mutations would have been little to none.
   1. So, there should be only one Y chromosome lineage today.
3. How many different mtDNAs on the Ark for offspring? Three. The three wives of Noah's sons. (The Bible doesn't mention that Noah and his wife had any more children).
   1. So, there should be three mtDNA lineages today.
4. These three mtDNA lineages should trace back to a single female ancestor (Biblical Eve). Proof of this would be that the three mtDNAs lineages are similar.
5. Due to the relatively high amount of mutations humans pass down to children (approx 100 mutations per generation), and the Flood occurring about 4,500 years ago, genetic diversity in humans today should be consistent with thousands, not millions, of years. (Human history, not the age of the earth – the age of the earth is irrelevant).

What we observe today, from worldwide surveys of human genetics

1. The Human Genome Project was declared complete in April 2003. One of its findings was that all humans have virtually identical DNA. They suggested that this is due to a population bottleneck in our past, where our numbers dwindled so low that we teetered on the brink of extinction.
2. Y chromosomes are indeed similar worldwide. No divergent Y lineages have been found. Therefore, evolutionists acknowledge a paternal common ancestor, calling him Y-chromosomal Adam.
3. There are indeed three main mtDNA lineages found worldwide today. Evolutionists have labeled these lines “M”, “N”, and “R”. (In a court of law, this would be considered inculpatory evidence.)
4. There is little difference between these three mtDNA lineages, so they must have originated in a single female, who lived not long before the bottleneck. (Evolutionists call her Mitochondrial Eve).
5. Since humans have virtually identical DNA, the genetic diversity is consistent with thousands of years, not millions of years.

To summarize, recent genetic studies reveal one Y chromosome lineage, three very similar mtDNA lineages, and the whole human race having virtually identical DNA, firmly matches the Bible's account of Noah's Flood (and Adam & Eve).

And  "口" (kou) does not mean "people."   "People" would  be "人" (ren).

The confusion comes from the use of "radicals"; parts that have semantic or phonetic indicators for the symbol.
